Epstein Chronicles: The Archives

In her sworn deposition from 2016 (unsealed in 2020), Virginia Giuffre detailed how Ghislaine Maxwell recruited, groomed, and trafficked her into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation starting when she was 16. She testified that Maxwell approached her at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 under the pretense of offering her work as a masseuse for a wealthy benefactor. That “job” quickly evolved into sexual abuse. According to Giuffre, Maxwell took an active role in teaching her how to sexually service Epstein, including hands-on “training” sessions involving Maxwell herself. She stated that Maxwell instructed her to recruit other underage girls and was fully aware — and involved — in the trafficking scheme. Maxwell not only facilitated the abuse, Giuffre claimed, but also participated in it, organizing flights, outfits, and sex schedules for Epstein and his associates.

Giuffre’s deposition also included accusations that she was trafficked to powerful men at Maxwell’s direction. She named Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, Jean-Luc Brunel, Bill Richardson, George Mitchell, and Glenn Dubin among the men she was forced to have sex with — often in Epstein’s residences or on his private jet, the “Lolita Express.” Giuffre detailed incidents of sexual abuse at Epstein’s private island (Little St. James), in Maxwell’s London townhouse, and at Epstein’s New York and Palm Beach homes. She described Maxwell’s role as operational: coordinating travel, preparing the girls, dictating what to wear (often schoolgirl outfits), and ensuring silence through emotional manipulation and threats. Giuffre testified that Maxwell told her to be “grateful” and warned her that speaking out would have consequences — including death. Throughout the deposition, Giuffre emphasized that she was a minor being trafficked across state and international lines, and that Maxwell was not only aware but orchestrating every detail. Her statements were corroborated years later by other victims and led to Maxwell’s 2021 conviction on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.

The Epstein scandal should be disqualifying for Todd Blanche because it cuts straight to the central question of whether he can be trusted to lead the Department of Justice with independence, transparency, and moral authority. Blanche has been tied to the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files at a time when the department has faced serious criticism over delayed releases, heavy redactions, disputed compliance with court orders, and the continued withholding of records the public has been demanding for years. That matters because the Epstein case is not just another legal controversy; it is a symbol of institutional failure, elite protection, and survivor betrayal. Any attorney general nominee connected to that same culture of secrecy should have to answer for it before being handed more power. Instead of looking like a reformer willing to rip open the files and restore public trust, Blanche looks like another custodian of the locked door. That alone should stop his nomination cold.

The attorney general is supposed to be the person who proves that the law applies upward as well as downward, especially in a case as radioactive and morally loaded as Epstein’s. Blanche’s role in the file-release debacle, combined with reports that the DOJ has continued fighting disclosure in litigation, creates the appearance of a man protecting the institution instead of serving the public. In the Epstein matter, that appearance is devastating because secrecy has always been the scandal’s bloodstream. Survivors do not need another official praising transparency while documents remain buried, and the public does not need another polished lawyer explaining why accountability has to wait. Blanche should not be promoted into the job that controls the very machinery now under suspicion. He should be questioned, investigated, and forced to explain every delay, every withholding decision, and every redaction connected to the Epstein files. Until that happens, putting him in charge of the DOJ would not restore confidence; it would confirm that the culture of concealment is not being punished, but rewarded.

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez is accusing the Justice Department of obstructing the state’s reopened criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch by refusing to provide complete, unredacted federal files. Torrez says the withheld material contains the names of survivors, witnesses, suspected co-conspirators and other people considered essential to determining what happened at the property south of Santa Fe. New Mexico requested the records in February 2026, when the state reopened an investigation that had originally been closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors in New York. In a June 30 letter to Acting Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Torrez complained that the state had waited roughly 130 days without receiving the information investigators needed.

The Justice Department disputes the accusation, saying it responded to New Mexico in June and remains willing to assist with the Zorro Ranch investigation or pursue any federal crimes uncovered by state authorities. Torrez, however, argues that the delay is especially damaging because investigators are already confronting the loss or deterioration of evidence, the passage of decades since the alleged crimes and complicated questions about jurisdiction. The ranch was sold in 2023, making the preservation and recovery of physical evidence even more difficult. Nearly five months after reopening the case, Torrez has announced no major findings, but his criticism makes clear that New Mexico officials believe federal secrecy is preventing them from identifying potential victims, witnesses and accomplices connected to Epstein’s activities at the ranch.

New Mexico attorney general says DOJ is withholding 'critical' information related to Epstein's Zorro Ranch

Epstein survivors have publicly challenged Lesley Groff's testimony before Congress, arguing that her portrayal of herself as someone who knew nothing about Epstein's abuse operation is fundamentally incompatible with their experiences. During her June 2026 testimony, Groff described Epstein as a "master manipulator" who kept his criminal conduct hidden from her and insisted that she never knowingly scheduled appointments for minors or witnessed abuse. But several survivors told CNN and other outlets that Groff was far more deeply involved than she admitted, alleging that she arranged logistics, handled payments, possessed identifying documents that would have revealed victims' ages, and was present during key moments in Epstein's operation.

For the survivors, the issue is not simply whether Groff knew every detail of Epstein's crimes; it is that they believe her testimony minimizes her role and rewrites history. Some of the women have said they directly interacted with Groff, received money from her, or provided her with personal information, making her claims of ignorance difficult for them to accept. Their criticism has been echoed by some lawmakers, who openly questioned the plausibility that someone who spent nearly two decades as Epstein's executive assistant, scheduling his daily activities and coordinating travel and "massages," remained entirely unaware of what was happening around her. Groff and her attorney continue to stand by her testimony, but for many survivors, her appearance before Congress was another example of an Epstein insider distancing herself from the operation rather than fully accounting for what she saw and did during those years.
